Three worlds. Three gifts. Three powers.Caz is smart, snarky, and tired of living in space. When a violent encounter with an alien leads to her expulsion to the planet surface, she embraces the punishment as freedom. There she experiences many things for the first time--sunshine, dirt, wind ... and true friendship. But just when everything is going right, the alien returns, flipping her destiny upside down. Now she must take on a dangerous quest to visit all three worlds in the Granbo System before the authorities can catch her. If she can do it, she'll acquire superhuman powers and inherit the right to rule as a queen. If she fails, she and thousands more may die.NOTE: This book was formerly titled "The Gypsy Pearl Book 1: Caren".Other books in the series #2 The Gypsy Fugitive#3 The Gypsy Sacrifice#4 The Gypsy Comet

Leah Klein left a bright Broadway career to become a Hollywood star. But her heartbreak over Michael ruined her confidence. Five years after he left, she finally lands her first movie role. This small part could turn into her big break. Then Michael shows up on set as a stunt coordinator, throwing Leah for a loop just as she was getting back on her feet. The more time they spend together, the more they find each other irresistible. Can the man who broke Leah’s heart mend it…despite all the scandalous secrets in his past?

What Monty Python's Flying Circus might have done with Dame Agatha Christie's lost manuscript...Invisible burglars who take nothing, but frighten the cat at meal times? This is hardly a case worthy of newly-promoted Chief Inspector Morgan. But when valuable jewels go missing and an attempt is made on Blandthorpe Fargenstropple's life, Morgan jumps into action with keen interest. Of course, it helps that Blandthorpe's niece looks nothing like a gargoyle.With a quirky cast of characters, witty banter, a little romance, more than a fair sampling of animal life, and plenty of ridiculous mishaps, this cozy mystery will challenge your ability to read in any sort of dignified manner--so grab a tray of tea and crumpets and plan to laugh out loud."Farce is hard. Farce that is energetic without being exhausting is harder. Farce that is coupled with clever dialogue and disarmingly perceptive observational humor may be the hardest of all. You get all of that here, and isn't that a wonderful treat?" ~ TOP 500 Amazon Reviewer"A wickedly funny mystery. It is a relatively quick and light read that will have you laughing from beginning to end." VINE VOICE Amazon Reviewer

Breaking even. That’s not too much to ask, is it?Fourteen years, six months and three days ago, I was born. That much I got right, but a few minutes later, my life took a sharp turn for the slumpy when my space-loving, geeky father named me Copernica Galilea Fletcher.Yeah. For reals.I have a single, solitary, precious goal for the year (besides maintaining straight A’s), and that is to balance the ups and downs of life. Because if high school is as bad as middle school was, I’ll slump so low, I’ll turn into Odor Eaters in the bottom of my sneakers. Oh, and as a related sub goal, avoid Kenny Chan at all costs.
